Delivering a speech at the ceremony, the Commissioner of Customs and Excise, Mr Chan Tsz-tat, said that Hong Kong Customs has been organising the Summer Internship Programme for six consecutive years. This year, a total of 150 internship positions were offered both locally and on the Mainland, attracting more than 1 200 applications. He expressed his appreciation to the supporting organisations for their active participation and the mentors for their dedicated guidance, which enabled young people to gain practical workplace experience, explore their career aspirations and better prepare themselves for further studies and employment.

This year's programme expanded its Mainland internship network to Sichuan and offered more internship opportunities in public service and charitable organisations, enabling young people to gain exposure to different industries and public affairs, and to deepen their understanding of the country's development and community needs. Mr Chan encouraged young people to make the most of these opportunities, better equip themselves for the future, and apply their knowledge and skills to serve society and contribute to the development of the country and Hong Kong.

Looking ahead, Customs will continue to support the youth development policies of the country and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. Through "Customs YES", Customs will strengthen collaboration with various sectors to expand internship and exchange opportunities, and leverage its international co-operation network to support members' participation in more international activities, nurturing a new generation with a strong sense of national identity, a global perspective and a commitment to society.

Hong Kong Customs detects drug trafficking case involving incoming passenger at airport

Hong Kong Customs today (November 12) detected a drug trafficking case involving a passenger at Hong Kong International Airport and seized about 5.5 kilograms of suspected crack cocaine, with an estimated market value of about $6 million. A man was arrested.

A 48-year-old Mainland male passenger arrived in Hong Kong from Manila, the Philippines, today. During customs clearance, Customs officers found the batch of suspected crack cocaine inside his carry-on baggage. The man was subsequently arrested.

An investigation of the case is ongoing.

Customs will continue to step up enforcement against drug trafficking activities through intelligence analysis. The department also reminds members of the public to stay alert and not participate in drug trafficking activities for monetary return. They must not accept hiring or delegation from another party to carry controlled items into and out of Hong Kong. They are also reminded not to carry unknown items for other people.

Customs will continue to apply a risk assessment approach and focus on selecting passengers from high-risk regions for clearance to combat transnational drug trafficking activities.

Under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, trafficking in a dangerous drug is a serious offence. The maximum penalty upon conviction is a fine of $5 million and life imprisonment.

Members of the public may report any suspected drug trafficking activities to Customs' 24-hour hotline 182 8080 or its dedicated crime-reporting email account(crimereport@customs.gov.hk) or online form (eform.cefs.gov.hk/form/ced002).
